Hey guys,

I just brought the Apexi (looks like a copy) pen shape turbo timer. Now as per usual it did not come with the wiring harness. Now where can i go out and get the ignition wiring harness for the apexi turbo time to suit the Stagea??

any nissan harness will work, readily available on ebay and performance shops. I think your real concern should be connecting fake/inferior electronics to your car and the associated risks involved. Read this first.

Thanks for the advice Chook...

I'm going send it back to the guy from ebay and get my refund...Better to be safe than sorry

I had a similar experience with a PIVOT TT, obvious fake, read about how they can get hot and catch fire....took a lot of emails and threats to get my money back.

Don't worry i just went through it. Spoke to a friend of mine and he brought the same one as mine and had all sorts of problems. I told the guy i want my money back...and he refunded me. Now i just have to send it back to him

Well I just installed my GReddy Full Auto Timer.. going really nice. I've got it mounted under the park brake release. Also I haven't connected the speed wire to the ECU (yet - still considering it)

The funny thing I noticed when me and my best mate while installing the timer is that the park brake safety wire can't be connect as the footbrake is wired differently (On normal handbrakes - it's should be 12V when the handbrake is on and 0V when the handbrake is off therefore the car will turn off as the turbo timer will turn on. but on the footbrake it's 0V when the footbrake is on and 12V when it's off)

That sounds very weird..Anyone else experienced this and is there is a work-a-round??

i installed a HKS tt using the footbrake, had no problems, works. TT handbrake wire connected to the brown foot brake switch wire.

I think you had the correct wire, 12V when off,

UPDATE..

Well after installing the alarm....My TT is reseting itself during normal driving. When i go to accelerate I can see it reset itself. It still works but obviously when out on a long drive and have it in auto mode it will reset and lose the amount of time it does. When it does reset i can hear the ignition barrel click like you've just turn the car on then it resets...At the moment I have spliced the wires to the ignition but I really do want to find the ignition harness for my TT for the piece of mind.

A Silly question...will the HKS harness work on the TT. Also if I do find the GReddy Harness...which one do i get??

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
